Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
Today’s card features a fun fold hinge design using the Gallery Blooms Bundle, Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper, and a greeting from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set. This bundle includes detailed flower shapes and versatile rectangle dies. Stamp and die cut your favorite flowers for a beautiful paper bouquet. Or frame a few stamped flowers with the open rectangle shapes.
This charming hello card features a beautiful arrangement of soft Calypso Coral peonies with Mossy Meadow foliage, creating an elegant floral focal point. The flowers are expertly colored and positioned within a decorative stitched frame (Textured Notes Dies) that adds sophisticated detail to the design. A simple “hello” sentiment in flowing script completes the warm greeting.
The card showcases lovely layering with a vintage-inspired floral background in muted tones of Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon, and Basic Beige. This pattern provides the perfect complement to the hand-colored peonies while adding visual richness without overwhelming the main image. The Cloud Cover cardstock matting ties all the elements together harmoniously.
Small pearl accents (Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls) are strategically placed around the design to add subtle elegance and catch the light beautifully. This versatile design would be perfect for any occasion requiring a thoughtful, handmade touch.
The inside of the card features a clean layout with a Basic Beige writing panel and a decorative gray textured strip (Beautiful Gallery DSP) along the right side, accented by a small blue floral sprig in the lower left corner that coordinates with the card’s overall design theme. The coordinating envelope features the same vintage floral pattern as the front of the card, creating a cohesive presentation that feels both classic and contemporary.
